HEADLESS is a PSX-styled tactics game, in which you fight using cover and tactics instead of with brute force
```
Z -> A
X -> B
C -> X
V -> Y
SPACE -> START```
I know this is a bad layout in some countries, so apologies in advance.
Start/Space will skip the rather long dialogue sections, which you'll probably want to do after your first attempt.
I realized this is LD, so many of you simply don't have time to read the dialog. So here's a quick rundown of what you need to do:
* Pick up a Dorothy XL Gatling gun. They look like this:
* Shoot The Beast, which can be found near the middle of the map
* Every two shots, the gatling gun is junk and needs to be replaced.
* The Beast's attacks will instantly kill you. Stay behind buildings.
* You will instantly lose if The Beast is not shot at least once per round.
* Once Shiki does her magic, all that's left to do is gun it down using normal attacks without getting yourself killed.
#### Known bugs
Controllers don't work in all browsers. Firefox seems to be fairly good at working (Tested with an Xbox 1 wireless controller). Chrome seems to be good at knowing a controller is attached, and bad at actually forwarding input. No idea on other browsers.

Controls
A controller is *highly recommended*. Chrome is a bit finnicky with controllers, but Firefox seems to be fairly reliable. If you can't get controller support working:```
Z -> A
X -> B
C -> X
V -> Y
SPACE -> START```
